Otome Game Sekai wa Mob ni Kibishii Sekai desu

This is one of the shows I was particularly looking forward to this season, both the Manga and Light Novel are truly a great reads but they're not quite translated well into this adaptation. This stems from how they portray the main character, the rest of the story is nothing to write home about even in the Manga or Light Novel, but the main character Leon is what makes it an entertaining read. He's the perfect blend between a Naofumi(Shield Hero) who hates the world and situation he's put in, but is played as more of a Kazuma-like(Konosuba) character. It makes for a pragmatic asshole ... type character that you can't help but root for, unfortunately in the anime a lot of the little things that help build up that personality have been cut out, leaving him feeling very hollow compared to his Manga and Light Novel counterparts. Since how his character is written is honestly the only stand out thing from the source material which wasn't properly adapted, this ends up being pretty mediocre all around.

Dropped it.

It is not all bad, but this anime is so gamergate it hurts to watch xD

+ it is so inconsistent I just failed to develop any expectations out of its world-development, I mean, it jokes about it anyway, because it is just a game, what a world am I talking about, but ... you can have a fantasy, just have a consistent fantasy.

Besides that, graphic is ok if a bit annoying, sound is ... ok, I tried to like it, but I failed to do so, characters are isekai at its worse, they get a role, they act it out without the regard for ... who they are, foes will pester, romantic interests will blush, comic reliefs will nonsence, it is not bad (most of the time), it is just nothing much. It reminds you how PtW feels like ... if you P. Do you feel bad already for buying victories with your noble privilege? Because I am totally doing it right now. And I feel bad for rubbing it in too much. This anime needs a protagonist instead of 2 antagonists. I miss The Faraway Paladin, he was such a decent fellow.

Be honest; you're only here for the mechas.

The setting is high on crack just like the main protagonist: you got a matriarchal society, giant robot mechs, airships, women, catboys, femboys, hoverbikes, feudalism, et cetera et cetera to the point where it is amazing how the title is not extraordinary long like, for instance, "I Died So Bad But Then I Was Isekaied Into An Otome Game As A Mob That is Tough For Based Red-Pilled Pay-to-Win Protagonists Such As I, Edgy but Not Too Edgy Like Kirito, And Must Survive Against The Matriarchal Feminist Society Using My Giant Mech The Gundam". This is a perfect ... setting for our based main protagonist who has to fight against all odds to remain based and not succumb to feminism. The protagonist? Edgy but not too edgy where you become a femboy (like kirito). Character development is unrequired because all I need is guy who is based and beats up beta males while high on crack. You know what else is cracked? Mechas. I love mechas. Giant robot. They punch. Gun. Explosion. Fight (soon). Enjoyment. 10. My brain has never produced such high amounts of dopamine levels ever since I went to do an uber oni combo on freshies in Rogue Lineage. Get your great sword we get to wiping oooooooooooo. If you are super edgy but not femboy edgy then you will love "I AM Trapped In Hell Also Known As a Dating Simulator After Being Isekaied Into It Please Let Me Out I Do Not Want To Be Here". I can not express too much about how extremely good this anime is like it literally has MECHS. There is no reason NOT to watch this anime (it literally has mechs in a matriarchal feudal society with catboys and femboys and the protagonist is based but with the experience of a veteran Deepwoken player like fr).

I bet you didn't read anything above so basically:
STORY: Good. 7. There are mechs.
ART: Comparatively poor this season but average overall. 7. The eyes were the redeeming factor. Very unique eyes.
SOUND: Unmemorable OP and ED, but they kinda do fit ngl. Very average, 6.
CHARACTER: 7. The protagonist is kinda based.
ENJOYMENT: 10. There are mechs. Cliches are actually pretty good in here. The anime is NOT ACTUALLY CRINGE!? You will enjoy this anime as much as you enjoy crack, lsd, and all the other highly addictive and illegal drugs that you had a slight taste of after smuggling it across the border. If you love mechs you will (probably) enjoy this much more than you enjoyed muv luv alternative the anime.
Overall: 10. I rounded up to the nearest 10 since this is truly a masterpiece.

So what are you waiting for? All the episodes to come out before binging? No! Get to wipin' else I'll wipe you like the freshie you are!

Won't go down with my great sword great sword get to wiping uh uh uh uh he dun want no smok hes got one life oh shoot him from the porch of my end zoner oh

As you imagine, a title like this will spark and make you scratch your head about what to expect. It's essentially about a guy who reincarnates into a world where women reigns supreme. Being a mob, or otherwise a background character, main protagonist Leon plays his life like a game as he's trapped in this dating sim world.

At first, it wasn't easy to figure out exactly what this anime is trying to be. An isekai otome harem? A fantasy school drama? Or one of those wild unpredictable stories carved from the author's wild imaginations? One thing is for sure is the anime follows a recurring ... trend we've seen countless times in these recent years: reincarnation. Whether he likes it or not, Leon is reincarnated and more importantly, trapped in a world where women rules all. He is pretty much a background character, a nobody like one those nameless NPCs you find in roleplaying games. Fortunately, the author decides to allow Leon to retain hs past memories so he has the knowledge to change the dating world he's trapped in.

First, the audience have every right to think this may be another cash grab at the recurring isekai tropes in today's industry. Isekai comes in all shape and sizes except this one throw in a few twists. Nonetheless, I also admit this show does justice at establishing Leon as a knowledgable protagonist. He may be a mob but he also represents far from being a useless NPC type character. On a mental level, he is virtually unmatched when he plays mind games against his adversaries. As witnessed in the first few episodes, he plays his life like a game. And for Leon, his games are how he plays by exploiting vulnerablities. He is essentially a gamer that uses his knowledge as a psudeo cheat code. A defining trait is also Leon's pride as he believes in his own superiority. Maybe we can call this a source of 'gamer's pride' as it may have stemed from his past life.

For a dating sim, there's no void for its cast of colorful female cast. These include the protagonist from the first otome game Olivia, Redgrave heiress Angelica, and the petite yet manipulative Marie. Between these characters, it's shown that some of them possesses traits you'd find in a real life otome game. For instance, Olivia is the friendly type of girl who has an inferior personality compared to her noble classmates. Angelica represents a more traditional type of heiress who has pride but does not arrogantly look down on others. And, we can't forget about Marie, a manipulate girl who uses others for her personal gain. Yeah, it would be easy to designate her as a major antagonist for her manipulative nature. However, I will say that she's less cunning compared to Leon but far more devious. This central female cast represents a typical otome game but you have to also remember Leon's role here. He knows events from the game and because of his knowledge, he can potentially change outcomes. That's what happens throughout the story as certain game events are altered or occurs at different time frames. In essence, this is like changing routes in a game with previous acquired knowledge. Talk about cheating on an unique level.

Now, I will admit that a good deal of the characters in this show are unlikale. Very few are tolerable at best such as Angelica. However, characters such as Olivia and Marie are filled with flaws. Marie in particular carries a personality that borderlines to psychotic with her childish and manipulative nature. The anime protrays it in a lighthearted fashion but who can stand someone who always tries to use others for personal gain? That reminds me that the majority of the male cast are forgetable. To me, they are the supporting cast with limited roles other than to be partnered with the female cast. Oh and of course, some of them fall victim to Marie's twisted plans so that adds bonus points for their uselessness. Leon practically carries this anime with his mental intellect and knowledge of the game world. Even if you don't like Leon, you have to admit that he is one, if not the most talented character in the show.

Composed of 12 episodes, the anime falls victim to a common trend with mediocre adaptations: failing to reach its full potential. In other words, you're missing out content from the light novel. The anime adaptation had to limit content to reach its audience and sacrifice character development with more limited storytelling. To me, it's a travesty because at some point in the show, I did show interest in the growth of the main female cast. For instance, Olivia getting bullied by her peers is an obstacle I want to see her overcome. Unfortunately, it didn't change my mind based on my initial impressions. There's so little character development in the show that I just gave up on them.

What does director Kazuya Miura and studio ENGI have in common? He literally directed four of the five projects produced by this studio since they've aired. And to me, they were produced with mixed results. Now, I'm not saying ENGI failed as a production studio because they did manage to animate this show with some highlights. For instance, character designs are lavishly crafted with beauty and elegance. The female cast has their feminine charm while the male roster are decorated with handsomeness that you'd expect out of an otome game. Only Leon has the average look because of his 'mob' status. However, animation quality with its character expressions are questionable. Almost all the characters have similar faces and at times, their expressions feels off. One of the major distractions is the female character designs with their eyes, most distinctively involving Angelica. Nonetheless, I'll give credit where credit is due. ENGI did manage to reach expectations with their work. Similarly, the voice acting in this show gives off an aura of charisma. My only complaint is Olivia, who shows far too much vulnerablility that makes me want to glue my ears shut.

In my disappointment, I have to confess that the anime felt little more than advertisement of the novels. There's just not enough to make me hungry for more unless they make an actual bold attempt at character building. It doesn't matter much really since I've grown to dislike the majority of the character cast after the final episode. Sometimes, storytelling with these type of genres work. Sometimes it doesn't. This is one of those times that it didn't.

Anime is a show, which means the focus doesn't need to be on telling the story. Similar to manga and illustrations on LN, it is a fair point to compare how a series is being visually portrayed to the audience. I assume they were trying to emphasize that this series should have a bishoujo style, thus the difference between the main casts and the mob art style. Trying to conform to the theme is understandable, but I have to say that I don't like the style.

The story is the exact opposite of the traditional villainess genre. Or at least they tried to break down ... the norm to this type of show. Whether they managed to do it is something to look forward to as of the writing of this review. At least an effort was made to make this series not too predictable while keeping the blatant melodrama element of the genre.

Seeing the story from the point of view of a mob character is already a unique point. It is also appreciated how the show is paced to maintain each episode as having something new to add to the series. And I'm not talking about making everything into an isekai to make it distinctive.

What makes the character interesting isn't so much how relatable they are. By large, these people have some personality issues. Maybe more so with the protagonist. Seems the mob character is only the setting being put on him, rather than his only aspiration. So it is enjoyable to see whether or not he will put an effort to better his life.

Maybe it's just me, but I enjoy seeing in what other way the author can make me hate those seemingly unimportant side characters. I liked it when a show managed to draw the intended emotion from the viewers. Like when they show an obnoxious character, you get repulsed.

As bad as the art seems, I don't have that much issue with the CGI side. This series will have quite a lot of them, and so far, just from the opening animation and the few bits I saw in the aired episodes, it's decent. But again, even if this isn't an action-packed anime, combat choreography might be the downfall of this series. I just hope the studio will prove me wrong.

The sound direction of this series is okay. Nothing exceptional. Since the plot hasn't progressed that far, I can't say much about the range of the VA for this series. Like how a character sounded when angry compared to afraid. But as of now, I think they did a satisfactory job.

Whether you can enjoy this or not, probably yes if you usually watch isekai and want something new. Or you are of the few who want to see a non-shoujo villainess type of show.

Look, the manga is good. The adaptation, though… could have been better. And not only because of the obvious, ugly CGI from the latest episodes.

"The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs" is centered around Leon, the ultimate asshole that was reincarnated in his sister's dating sim game. Luckily for him, he's just a mob character, so he doesn't have to deal with the male harem of the game, which he hates; after all, they are just a bunch of useless and utterly annoying pretty boys. So he thought; yet, he is forced to go to the nobles' academy from the game, so he ... can avoid literally dying.

Oh, and… in this world, women seem to hold the power.

The anime follows the basic "reincarnated as a mob in an otome game" formula: the MC wants to live their lives comfortably, yet they become involved in the story; they use their knowledge from the game; they become close with the original main character of the game; they become powerful, etc etc. Like most works in this genre, it also has a twist: here, it is the main character, Leo. The shittiest egoistical asshole you could find in that whole fantasy world, a vulgar power abuser that doesn't give a fuck about anything other than himself, and… that hates getting promoted. Yet he gets promoted, and he hates it, and everyone else hates it as well because they hate him. He is just that much of an asshole.

Leon is, basically, the saving grace of this anime. Or, rather… of the manga. Because the adaptation doesn't do him justice. Of course, he is there for comedic reasons, like literally everyone else; however, he is also the main character and carries the entire entertainment on his shoulders (as the other characters are just hollow figures on a screen). We love seeing this asshole being the most annoying asshole on Earth (well, not really) and fucking up the frustrated students with his power. Well, that's if he actually has a character, aside from being a little shit with a big mouth. And it's pretty hard to see that in the anime. Wait, that's not entirely true; it is also obvious that he is actually a pretty smart bastard! And… that's about it. Thanks for tuning in, Leon will get more character development next time!

Maybe I'm a bit harsh. But then again, the other characters are just random stereotypes (aside from Angelica, she is pretty nice). We gotta have one good character at least, right? He is the main reason for the enjoyment that comes from this, after all. I mean, the story… is not that great or impressive, the pacing was pretty bad, and the animation has some flaws as well. It was pretty mediocre, really.

And the last episode was TRASH. The battle was a very important one in the manga, yet here… it was over in like 5 minutes? What the heck man… And the whole episode was also very rushed, it was awful.

In the end, "The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs" was disappointing. It wasn't essentially bad, as it was still somehow enjoyable; however, it did not reach the manga's potential at all. Not to say that the manga itself was oh-so-amazing, because it wasn't; yet it was way better. Truth to be told, I expected more.

Otome game is exactly the sort of generic isekai Power fantasy trash that everyone seems to hate. You know you have seen many of these before, there is a formula and a bit of a twist.
An isekai fan’s needs are easy to fulfill and are fulfilled quite faithfully in this anime this is an easy recommendation if you need any of the following.
1)OP protag who is relatively likable (But not distinct enough so that one can self-insert).
2)Harem, big tids, and beautiful chics. Not dense MC
3)Good worldbuilding but should also be a world that favors MC heavily.
4)Mecha (the twist)
5)harbinger of gender equality (shows no mercy to ... crazy fucks, male or female).

This is exactly the kind of fodder we isekai fans need to continue staying in our caves.

But if you want an actually competently produced show, please just drop this show and read the manga or LN, Yes I hate jumping on this train of “Manga is better”. But in the case of this anime. The anime is so garbage that the Manga (despite being a bit mediocre) seems like a gospel!
The character expressions are so well done in the manga, here it is as generic an isekai as the ones before it.
Let's just get into the review of this anime, ill keep it short.

Story (6/10)
Is quite good when talking about the source, in the anime however the pacing is downright horrible. They don't let you savor any good moments it's just one scene after the other. Most episodes end so abruptly you may wonder if the video got cut by mistake XD.

Art and animation (3/10)
they try to follow the source as close as possible in scenes that require less budget only. When a scene that requires high sakuga or budget shows up, cheap gimmicks like speed lines and terrible camera angles kill the moment. I do appreciate the fact that the mechs are drawn rather competently, but they use them as sprites to just fly across the screen with minimal to no actual movement. Broken mechs look more like Lego blocks than actual wreckage XD. They used only STILL FRAMES in one of the most anticipated Angie scenes (the punching one), it's a disaster. Art style is unique and I can tell they were trying for an Otome game-type styling but the characters look too shiny to the point they look like dolls.

VA and sound (6/10)
Rushed voice acting, with zero emphases on dialogues. The most hype scene of Leon versus the prince and his lackeys was delivered like it's a JAM speedrun dialogue-wise, with no zoom-ins, no powerful line delivery none of that good shit! (Makes you love scenes like Grisha and Eren from AOT) seem all the more legendary, Angie's and luxion’s Va do a good job however and you can feel that angie is noble by her manner of talk and delivery of lines.OP is alright music-wise. ED is just a lazy waifu showcase with a very out-of-place music choice.


Characters (6/10)
Enjoyable, sort of. the VA does kill a bit of the mood. But they do at least remain true to the source material. the main selling point is probably the anti-hero nature of Leon and the fact that character drama is a bit more natural and fleshed out like dealing with rejection, nobility and commoner issues, etc.


Probably just read the manga or LN xD, If you really don't want to give the first few a try and if you can handle this low-budget adaptation you may actually enjoy it more than I did.

1st of all, its not done so this isn't much of a fair review and it mostly pertains to the most recent episodes. The first few were alright nothing too crazy I'd even say maybe an 8. The most recent episodes (like ep 7-9) had me pulling my hair out and wanting to throw up and it feels like its just going to get worse until all of the sudden it gets better (cuz every light novel Andy comes out to say "just read the LN"). Just very dumb and frustrating moments developing and again it will continue to develop poorly until all of the ... sudden the misunderstandings are gone and happily ever after the anime gets better i guess. I guess until that happens ill keep it at a 5.

You gotta be kidding me...another studio ENGI ugly-ass production values with an all-too-familiar setting and a crude story that works? What kind of world are we living in that we can pass bad production for good stories?

More often than not, reality hits harder than expectations, and novelist Yomu Mishima's Otome Game Sekai wa Mob ni Kibishii Sekai desu a.k.a MobuSeka is just exactly that: a HameFura rip-off, but replace the female villainness lead with someone who's not even the main character, who's literally: Trapped in a Dating Sim, with the world of the Otome Game being tough for mobs a.k.a background characters. And since this ... is a novel that started in Syosetu that lasted from 2017 to 2019, that expanded into the LN and manga versions of the novel, it's safe to say that what came out of there has a lot of wacky ideas during the period accurate to 2017 that only a few things are common within each other: Isekai, characters being OP, and Demon Lord reincarnation. The anime adaptation covers the first 4 volumes of the LN, though you can just read the manga anyways because the anime follows that version very closely, and to the point where I'd say that it's to the T, though LN readers will probably know that how MobuSeka progressed after the anime's content is a hit-or-miss sadly, but that's outside the scope of this review.

In MobuSeka's case, it's reinventing the settings that HameFura is known for with the known caste system nobility, interesting MC, love interests, magic, and above all: the "reincarnated as a villainness" shtick where the MC, LITERALLY is a jerk that acts like an actual villain with a logic for trash that only warrants if he does feel like they earn the karma. And this is what Leon Fou Bartfort's character is like: starting off being forced by his sister to help complete a rather punishing Otome Game, where the usual shenanigans of the game are as you would expect to be played out, to only lament at the difficulty of the game to pass out not by Truck-kun, but at the stairs leading to his house. Fast forward to the reincarnation phase, and he finds himself right inside that same exact Otome Game world where women reign supreme, and mobs like Leon are easy to manipulate that makes the setting tough for 'mobs'. Of course, like Katarina Claes, Leon also knows how the game works inside out, but one thing stands out amongst the two: a simple cheat code, because Leon is a mob character, and aside from wanting to live a normal life, unless he works to the death, he's gonna stand out amongst the nobility to forever be their plaything. So it's to that extent that the world ain't all nobility, but also with a mixed sci-fi theme with the "old world" featuring technology that only "Old Humans" can understand and mechas that add more lore to the series's worldbuilding, even if Leon is a "New Human" with technically "Old Human" knowledge. Also, Luxion for an AI downsized from its real body of a giant black spaceship-like airship is quite the hilarious joker as it hates "New Humans" and isn't abashed to trash-talk towards Leon when it feels like doing so. And that's more than its programming allowable to also help Leon in "cheating" his way through the Otome Game since his knowledge is unrivalled, and his personality being one similar to that of a rebel: not caring about how others look and opinionate about him, even to the point of criticizing and chastising others in the pursuit of being realistic, while throwing all logic off to the point whom are closest to him to act like the ever-so-predictable friendship clique setting, even showcasing compassion at times in his most dirty and disgusting behaviour the way he knows how to deal against. And true to honest, it doesn't get better than Leon being the 'mob' that tries to "change/alter history" by doing things that are to be expected of a background character. For such a character like Leon, unpredictability is the name of his game, and he's fun to watch as a trash-thrashing person.

There's heaps of other characters here too in MobuSeka, but I'll just go by the order in which they're introduced in the anime, there's a lot of ground to cover here. Starting off with the nobility's side of the caste system antics, it's the annoying Chibi-like character of Marie Fou Lafan, the daughter of a Viscount family. She, like Leon, also sucks as a character, but damn is she worse off than Leon himself by being oh-so-glamourous in vying for the attention to disrupt the Otome Game's natural progression of the female protagonist Olivia (whom again, like Katarina Claes) is a commoner through and through. And that's exactly Marie's position in the Otome Game: to meddle with the game dynamics and the placement of the characterization between the supposed commoner Olivia and antagonist villainness Angelica, so much so that Angelica took Olivia's place as the victim to be ripped apart from the princes of the kingdom: the crown prince Julius Rapha Holfort and his 4 idiotic aides of Jilk Fia Marmoria, Brad Fou Field, Chris Fia Arclight and Greg Fou Seberg, muscular and popular, but only in name (if Leon's in the overall picture). For the most part, it's utter broad daylight bullying at its worst as the kind and modest protagonist Olivia lacks a consistent amount of self-confidence, ensuring that she would always be the target of all nobles. On Angelica's side, instead of the usual crown prince shielding her, he's been bought to Marie's malicious intent, and it would be weird for his 4 aides to not side with him enough for Leon to backfire their karma on them.

Furthermore, with Leon's inclusion in the overall story, it can seem and look cumbersome that there're too many actors in a now-convoluted storyline where the mob characters take charge of altering it into a realistic un-fairy tale like scenario. But I promise you that it's not, as Leon weaves his own way into the circumstances and makes his own path so that everyone can get pissed off for making insignificant splashes from a two-faced character, pinning all the blame on him while both Olivia and Angelica can see through the gaps of their own situations. You simply can't get a better wingman than Leon Fou Bartfort, the insignificant mob character that turned from the hatred of all to a valuable player that despite his noble status (which he doesn't want any of that shit at all), he's the perfect player to guise and guide through the intricacies of unjust treatment within a much-maligned societal standing. And to earn the respect of the wayward-sided Olivia and Angelica whom Leon has constantly risked his life for to save them from their own traumas, that's saying something that background characters may one day be protagonists of their own choosing. This is the reason why as much hate as Leon gets, he's a pretty likable character, and one whom doesn't await shooting for the stars to earn the recognition that he deserves as a literate snake-snively person that acts according to what he feels is right. As some would say: A cliche overpowered protagonist done right, and for VA Takeo Ootsuka whom also acts as Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru a.k.a Run With the Wind's Kakeru Kurahara, it makes Leon stand out more than he actually would have been, and that I'd say a job well done.

It must be said that studio ENGI's production values have gotten a lot worse overtime. While its starting shows look fine with decency (and that was 2.5 years ago with Hataage! Kemono Michi), it didn't took until last Spring's Full Dive that the overall feel just looks bad, and I mean REAL BAD. Often at times, the art style just looks drab and lifeless, and let's not go into the character design which I feel that it was way too overdone with shades and contours so strikingly deep that literally everything looked razor-sharp and unnatural. To this effect, you can blame character designer Masahiko Suzuki who's done more character design in the creature department (i.e. Overlord, Kami no Tou, Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka?) than actual human characters. It's like someone trying to diversify his CV that when trying something new, it's a given that he'll earn rude comments, but I for one can't understand how someone so bad at creature models earn the culmination that is featured in this show. It's abominable, and the only negative about MobuSeka. And for a Kadokawa-backed company, this is just...ugly. Like come on, wouldn't spending money on resources and more training help out to make your company look much better in the eyes of the watching public?

The OST on the other hand, it's good. Kashitaro Ito is such a talented Anisong singer, and his vocal talents display the promixity here of an OP that features strong vocals and dynamic musical range, something that's a staple of if you listen to his songs. Riko Azuna's ED...actually fits for a much more playful aesthetic in rounding up the heavy bombardiness of the episodes, though the song is decent that's patched together with the visual play. It's peppy and kooky.

I wouldn't be wrong if I said that there are WAY TOO MUCH Isekai anime these days, and standing out is even more difficult if the formula has been done better, or if it concerns when the adaptations of source materials comes out faster to be the first one to set a precedent on how future shows will be like to determine greatness or mediocrity. MobuSeka won't be a show that tries to break the bank by being mostly the same borrowed aesthetics from other shows that have come and gone before it, but if I can guarantee something, it's one hell of a good time watching a jerk carve out a path for himself and trashing the world behind him.

Truly, the world is tough for mobs, but the real world is just as hard for Otaku (if this ain't an WotaKoi reference enough).

Already read what's currently out for the manga and it's really good, it's a very fun read. This on the other hand, is exactly as I had imagined it would be, mediocre. Not all the episodes are out yet as of writing this, but I don't think it's going to change that much from where it's currently at. The animation is really boring and lackluster, the characters look alright, but very lifeless. The MC's eyes looked funky during some parts of the 4th episode and the rest of it had some questionable animations at times as well, but it was still a pretty fun watch. ... The voice acting is fine and I find the personality of the characters to be enjoyable. The story isn't bad, but it could definitely improve (talking bout where the manga is at).

Edit: I actually found this to be very funny. You'll know if you watch it yourself, but there's a scenario in episode 6 (this is not really a spoiler) -where Angelica makes a comment on a girl's attire. If you look closely at it, then you'll notice that they changed it twice in the space of 40 or so seconds.

Overall, I'd say that it's pretty good, but if you like reading then yes, you should obv read the manga (preferably first) and then maybe watch the anime after (or vice versa).

At first i dropped this one because of how unfair male lead was being treated in the anime but later when i found out that situations get better in later episodes and he gonna get a small harem i jumped in it again ! well the situation did get better but the process was not that satisfying ! at least somewhat tolerable cause the male lead was not a coward unlike other harem protagonist ! The main problem was still there and that is the unfairness to the main lead ! in the last couple of episodes the story did get interesting and male lead ... is treated a bit bitter and he did somewhat got a pseudo cliffhanging harem ! The ending totally shows that there will be a next season and given the popularity of show it gonna have another season ! hoping at least there somethings gets better and male lead gets his harem he deserve! So as for me it's 5.7 stars/10 stars.. i don't know why when male lead gets beaten or defeated in an anime specially if it's harem and romance ones i can't stand it maybe because most of the harem and romance anime follows the same formula to beat the male lead unnecessarily for so called humor ,i don't know how this is a humor ! no offense to those who liked this!

So I completed this show and im really surprised how much I enjoyed Otome game Isekai, that concept might sounds weird but trust me, im really not a fan of mechs but that show is fire!
Story (8/10)
Plot is only kinda decent but the concept is really insane, look most of people play mobile games this days and it obvious have microtransactions, so just imagine how fun it would be to summoned to your favorite game with your pay2win content.
Art (8/10)
Well well, mechs and objects are mostly handly animated with some really rare 3d exceptions. I really enjoy animation in this ... anime, its kinda unique.
Sound (7/10)
Music its just climatic, I have never had problem with it in this show.
Character (10/10)
MCs in my opinion are really good in this show, Leon personality might be harsh sometimes but he is really amazing anyways, also most isekais protagonist are just boring but he is just insanly unique compared to standarts.
Enjoyement (10/10)
Oh damn I enjoyed it in any way possible, thats insane how I will miss this show.
Overall (9/10)
So otome is a really unique mech game simulator with amazing characters, I would recommend you to watch it if you like a good MCs with game related story.

Eh, Katsuragi Keima got you beat every day of the week at dating sims Leon… just saying.

Well, anyways, here’s your isekai about the protagonist tripping and falling down a set of stairs, only to be isekai’ed into the dating sim that he just beat, but this dating sim is a matriarchy, so he’s not overpowered at all, he’s actually a background character in a dating sim, except he has background knowledge of the game, so actually, he is overpowered after all. The show is pretty shallow overall, the politics, fights, and plot are all pretty mediocre, but the thing that stands out is the smugness ... of the protagonist (still not as smug as that Anya face though).

My grading criteria: Story: /25 Art: /10 Music: /10 Characters: /20 Enjoyment /15 Thematic Execution /20

STORY: 12.3/25

The plot isn’t much to write home about. I view this as a sort of revenge story of sorts, of a mob character that is maltreated, and then unleashes his power on the world, being a scumbag to everyone, while saving everyone.

There are some inconsistencies, and some things I wished the story expanded on. The matriarchy in my opinion didn’t play enough of a role, as it quickly became obsolete after Leon became a baron and moved up in the society. Another thing I wished the story talked about was Marie’s identity. It was hinted that Marie could be Leon’s sister in the real world, and I wish they expanded upon that fact to make for more plot points. It’s always a plus when the characters in the real world are mentioned in an isekai, but not a lot of isekai series do that, which is unfortunate.

ART: 4/10

In short, I don’t like the character designs. The other stuff is fine, the action scenes are fine, the general art direction is fine, it’s just the character design that looked awkward.

MUSIC: 8/10

Sound direction was fine, and the openings and endings were good enough musically. Nothing very impressive, but still solid.

CHARACTERS: 12.5/20

The characters are actually decent. There is a fair bit of character growth to be seen, especially with Olivia and Angelica, with the former struggling with being overprotected by Leon, and wanting to be independent, and the latter, looking upon lower class people with more respect than before after meeting Olivia.

Obviously, Leon is an enjoyable character to watch. He takes upon the villainous role himself, but when he defeats those cocky nobles, it’s always a fun and satisfying thing to see. Cheap thrills that work, basically, is his shining point. The self-doubt about his role as a mob character is a bit annoying at times considering how powerful he is, but he’s still a unique character.

ENJOYMENT: 9.5/15

Has some good points, and some shallow and frustrating points.

THEMATIC EXECUTION: 9.2/20

Personally, I don’t really like the sporadic themes throughout, and the theme of the school much either, the people in the school just give off such a negative connotation, it’s hard to describe. The romance is there, because of course it is, and the action is fine overall.

OVERALL: 55.5/100

It’s an alright show, I just wish the plot thickened a little, and the animation was a little better, the plot and some characters come off as a bit shallow and underdeveloped, and if there’s ever a season 2, I would hope the plot gets built upon in a better way.

Animes like this are a reason as to why I wish I could rate it a .5. As I really would rate this show a 6.5. I don't think it's done enough to be a 7, but it's certainly not as low as a 6. There are many reasons for this, as while you and I have seen plenty of Isekai, but ones like these really catch the attention with it's twists each and every episode, along with it's general theme, makes for an exciting watch. Here is why.

Story: 7
The story can come across as a typical Isekai fashion to start off with, but as ... it blends in more, and really unravels, it really showcases just how interesting the story can be. Even if it can come across as very weird at the start, with how our main protag comes across, and he can also seem a bit weak in parts, which is a bit of a down point, but it's not all bad.

What really deserves a highlight, is the sense of mystery and interest the show brings with its plot points throughout. A good anime knows when to throw down it's twist or turns. Making you want to watch more, or check out the manga to see what happens next, or what on earth is going on. I feel like that's done well here, with the idea that all may not be what it seems. Great stuff.

Characters: 6
This is where I feel like the story is a little lacking. I don't know if it's the anime adaptations fault, as I keep hearing how better the manga is. But a few of them really do come off as bland. It's like So what I'm a spider type of levels. Some of them really come off as generic, and there will be one or two that are either given proper details too, or will make you only want to care about them. Which is a bit of a shame. As you can tell from those that actually feel like they have a bit of focus on, makes the story tick along nicely.Other than that, it could be better.

Art and sound: 6
Animation and quality is fine, but looking at other shows compared to this, could be better in terms of it's overal product. It's not garbage, but it's just alright. Fitting for purpose in it's style, and there isn't much else to say about it. While the sound does match the sound in each and every scene, a good job on both ends really.

This is a very interesting and exciting Isekai, that could be better, but it's still a stellar show that deserves attention. If not for a watching experience, but for the manga if the anime doesn't take your fancy.

Listen, it may not have the strongest story or beginning for that matter. But particularly the dub is hilarious. I was thoroughly entertained because the main character is absolutely based and is funny as hell, so much so that I would watch it again for the laughs. You can try and act like a stuck up food critic all you want, but the story doesn’t have to be great for it to be a solid and enjoyable anime. It just had to make up for it in other ways, which it absolutely did. The protagonist is definitely the most memorable character, and the art style ... is nothing to complain about but not spectacular either. Overall, I enjoyed Otome and you will too, give it a good shot.

The underrated anime of the season. But of course, if you are not an Isekai fan, you have no business here. The anime is about a guy who gets isekai-ed into a (reverse-harem) dating sim game he once played. But not as the game protagonist, but a typical nobody! (mob). The anime genre also includes Romance, Revenge and a lil bit of Ecchi.

Pros
+Plot is original.
+Suspense and mystery. Story invokes curiosity.

Cons
-Art and animation are subpar.
-Not enough explanation about gacha, supernatural powers, etc.

... End note:
I would recommend this anime to anyone who is looking for an Isekai with a brand new plot.

"Otome Game Sekai wa Mob ni Kibishii Sekai desu" is basically "All Routes Leads to Doom", but with a male protagonist reincarnated as an NPC.

The story revolves around a guy who gets isekaied into a Otome Game's magical world and sees himself being forced to use his knowledge about the game to deal with the problems being thrown at him.

Its mostly simplistic and generic, following a adventure comedy style, being very weak in the comedy aspect, but having a somewhat interesting mystery and a kinda relatable protagonist.

The world building also sounds interesting, being similar to Knights and Magic concept of mechas on a ... medieval world, but with less depth put into it.

What holds it up mostly as something different, is the unusual Mecha Battles in a Otome Game, but we still have to see how good they will be.

At least for now, sounds like a nice show to pass the time, but nothing deep or revolutionary, or that i would rewatch later

Ok, this show isn't for everyone. However, it's so enjoyable. I actually want to watch the next ep immediately, l understand it's many flaws but it's just a great watch.

Story:7/10
Story is kinda ok because it's an isekai but like they way events in the story play out is really entertaining.

Art:6/10
Arts ok doesn't hurt the eyes, just decent enough where the animation doesn't have any flaws.

Sound: 8/10
Kinda self explanatory.
...
Characters:7/10
The main character is fucking sick (as in like fun to watch). The characters against the MC are also annoying so it does the mininum amount required basically for characters.

Overall:8/10
Basically due to enjoyability, unpredictability and like l want to see the MC succeed and the other characters to suck it.

Do yourself a favour and skip this one. Perhaps it's because I'm not familiar with the source material (which others have said is much better) but regardless of that the quality of this anime is inexcusable. Some spoilers inbound.

First things first, characters; honestly just a little too generic for my tastes. Normally generic characters don't bother me if the story is interesting or they have some quirks, but this time round it's just bad. Leon is the only one who stands out a little but even then I go from enjoying him to saying, out loud, "Wtf are you doing, are you stupid??" which isn't ... a great position for a character to be in, and you just know something is wrong with the cast when a viewer's favourite character is the dry wit AI companion with thinly veiled murderous intent. I get that to an extent they're otome game characters and are supposed to be generic, but come on man, I've seen more depth in an ash tray.

Secondly, and most damning, the story AKA an absolutely clustertruck of nonsense. The synopsis and many points in the story go out of their way to point out that "this world is a matriarchy"...um, no it isn't, not in the bloody slightest. If by "matriarchy" you mean the ladies are all nasty backstabbing ingrates then yes, but that's not what that word means. Not to mention the story also puts a tonne of emphasis on marriage, that young men are useless unless married because until then they can't have any power...except that's a lie, case and point our main character is able to get money, official status, a warship and his own private island all without the help of a lady. Nothing stands in his way, no-one stops him or refuses based on the fact he isn't married, absolutely no meaningful pushback at a bachelor obtaining all of this.
The QUEEN isn't even the one in charge, they have a KING instead, and it's the PRINCE everyone bends over backwards for, speaking of him if this story had a legit matriarchy then Julius and the noble lads around him would have NEVER gotten away with scorning their fiances the way they did, nor would Julius get away with publically disrespecting and embarrassing Angie, they got the equivalent of slaps on the wrists, it's pathetic. The whole premise of the world is so poorly handled that Leon insisting he needs to go to the academy and get married makes no damn sense, he already has riches to last him years, high status in the royal court and a place to live, he doesn't need to get married and spend time in a place he clearly doesn't want to be. I don't like dragging the authors into these sorts of things normally, but I can honestly say I wasn't surprised when I found out that this laughably abyssmal attempt at a "women hold all the power" narrative was written by a man.
Other than that glaring, lore-shattering issue it's your bog-standard slice of life romcom with the occasional low-effort battle and boring low-threat stakes that you just know will be resolved without problem or real consequence by the MC.
Like I said at the start, maybe the story is better written or fleshed out in the source material, but as I've not read it I can only judge based on the anime, and the anime story sucks big time.

Lastly, and I don't want to linger too long on this, but the actual animation and general quality are pretty bad. For your run-of-the-mill mediocre romance anime it works fine most of the time, but everything that's not characters standing around talking is janky, and a good percentage of the time the lip syncing doesn't line up. It's nice to look at for screenshots but it's clear corners have been cut and not for the better.

Overall I'm kinda' thinking to myself "You got what was coming to you" because I don't usually give these kinds of anime a try, I went in with average expectations and found even that was too much for it to live up to.

Okay, i think we all here because we know what MobuSeka is.

So first of all, i love the MC, he's not same as another isekai mc, he's outstandingly chad of all chara in this anime, maybe not only this anime but most. ("most" because the one and only Chad King is Lord Kazuma)

Some of people who know MobuSeka think the art is different from manga/LN, but it's no problem at all (some of em also think about the female chara eyes that looks like alien tho) but that shouldnt be a big problem, i mean, it shouldnt right??.

About the opening/ending song, i prefer the ... ending song, both good, but not best.

the storyline, i could say that MobuSeka is the same as classic isekai anime, well, u die, u reincarnate to another world with your memory from the past life, and then be strong. but the way of the story flows is not the same as the other anime, because the story,, i can say that it kinda absurd but surprisingly enjoyable.

MobuSeka is a great project, it only took 3 episodes to make me read the manga.

maybe that's all about the review, because if i want to write it all, 15 minutes couldn't be enough.
